Cops Vs Bikers - Encounters with Cool Cops/Lying Police [Ep.#14]

Oh, what a day, what a beautiful day. It's been cold on B. I don't really mind the cold, it's just that if you get too cold it hinders your ability to control your bike effectively, which is my main concern now that you get to the other side. let's stop I think the helicopter told me something I don't know what it was man good morning sir have a driver's license you, I have my driver's license here although it's under a couple of layers so it'll take me a second to get it out, can I get off the bike?

Sorry, change, sorry, a car cut me off, that's why I was late, it was too late. I know I usually go in the same way before everything goes, you have insurance on. This, yes, sir, received an inspection plate. Yeah, I just put this plate on like over the weekend, but I couldn't get it back on and the inspection plate is here. Look, it was inspected maybe 3 months ago by Trium. dealer, turn it around, yes that will work, it's okay that you have that bracket upside down, yes, but it has a little twist so it's a little strange, but you have to fix it, okay, I'll do it.

It was so cold when I was putting it on I just wanted to put it on you know, one more wait until the last minute absolutely it's bad enough doing it in front of someone else, but when you do it in front of me it's Sort of not, I know, I knocked you down , uhoh, but I didn't want you to do anything else. Reckless, so pay attention to what you're doing. Thank my Lord. I appreciate it. It was lucky that it's a

cool

mug. There should be more cups. so I didn't even check my insurance or anything.

I don't know if he had a little mercy on me because I was obviously really cold or he just wanted to stop me just to give me some or I guess I would see how I reacted. and if I was an idiot he probably would have given me a ticket. I think the fact that I want a cruiser if not a sportbike probably helps. We are from the West. Sorry, part of me need to see a driver's license and insurance. Because? being stopped or passing to the right not in safety driving an opponent improved the shoulder is my license my insurance is under my seat look at it yes, this is a temporary car I have the regular one here but that has a piece of information is this new your bike what is?

It's your bike, a new one, yes, 13, yes, how would you like it? You love it, yes, where's your inspection? Oh, it's behind the plaque here. I forgot to turn the thing over when I put this new board on. I couldn't understand it. how it came back online, that's how I put it there, okay, okay, yeah, sorry I didn't hear what you were saying when you first pulled up next to me. You got pulled over for driving on Mar LAN okay, turning right is not safe driving P an approved hard shoulder whatever you want to call it all Val okay so where were you?

I didn't see you at all. I'm usually pretty good with that back, yeah, on Frontage Road proper, oh, okay. It's a warning, what does that mean? It's a warning, don't do it again oh wow, thanks. I appreciate that you're going to do it again. Thank my Lord. Thank you. He was a friend of mine at work. He just showed me a website. travel in Texas about the uh DPS say something about um lane splitting I know it's not legal it's technically illegal it's illegal okay if you do it too much and we see that they watch you over a period of time they take you to jail and they impound you your bike, oh, no way, oh wow, okay, you know what I mean, yeah, the way you do it can be considered reckless, well, you know, it just depends on the officer, okay, my advice to you , bear, you did it at low speed. you know you don't have the authority yet there are only three different situations you can operate on the shoulder you didn't need anything okay okay I thought I was still inside the line but I guess sharing that wide lane is you .

I want to discuss that, oh no, no, I'm not arguing, I'm just trying to understand you a little bit more, okay, don't do it, okay, I understood you in TAS, understood, thank you sir, sure, sure, good afternoon, nice , thank you, yes, absolutely, I can. Get off the bike, oh, if you need, yeah, the insurance. Sorry, we removed the insurance from your tag so we don't have to. Oh, okay, I like it, uh, right, let's stop you. I'll get back to business, come on. 79 oh it was I really thought I was doing 70 oh, sorry, behind the corner, oh, it's only 65.

I didn't know if you knew, yeah, I know, yeah. I really thought I was doing 70, which is a little more, but more or less. Keeping up with traffic, you know, how do I get the citation? I slowed you down because it doesn't sound like you mean, so no, not at all, okay, I'll come back and show you some options as fast as they can so you can continue again, okay, okay. right, thanks, make yourself comfortable if you want to see, you can, okay, thanks, yes, it's a good thing, probably yes. I lowered your speed like I promised, just to 10 as low as they let me go, but everything goes down, okay? uh you've got some options there if you're autograph here, that just promises to contact them in the next 30 days and I'm going to print all of this out for you, okay, contact information and all that, uh, you can go on the defensive if you want to rule it out, you can schedule one day, they find a bunch of different ways, there's even a postponement if you've already done it recently, so that's two, okay, this will have you on your way for just a second, okay?

I appreciate your help, thank you. Okay, on the back, on the top, that's your contact. One. You can wait at least a day, but the phone numbers for the website and all the different options are down here and I'll tell you a little more about each one. One of those is fine, for example, defensive driving, they will give you three more months, yeah, it's funny. I was reading about that the other day and I think I can take a couple different motorcycle courses for that. It doesn't have to be like the online course or something different for the motorcycle, but I know that they will let you do the class and that rules out the fine and also reduces your fine, right, right, many of us did everything right.

We had this, yeah, no, actually, I'm in the process of signing up for a Ride Along, so I'm really interested to see what new laws are in place hands-free and everything, so I see I'm on a bike. There are a lot of dangerous drivers out there so for the first month it's just warnings that's what I heard yeah yeah the only problem I have is a city ordinance it's not. I mean, you're not from Austin, you don't know that. difficult, but I mean, as far as I'm concerned, it's also common sense, so yes, exactly, yes, yes, I bet you are too, you say that I participated in the motting unit for about 10 years and the people not paying attention almost kill you, oh yes, absolutely yes. that's why I have the camera for security and yes, exactly, yes, yes, okay sir, well, I wasn't in a hurry, but now I'm a little late, so I would have been there if he hadn't exactly, yes, Of course, I appreciate it.

Your time, thank you very much. Are you playing stupid by looking at his phone too? How stupid in 600 feet, turn right in the morning and license safe and secure. Can I get off the bike? Yeah, go ahead, what are you doing today? Turn off the dummy headlights. because you've been traveling without them anyway. I'm sorry, well you just turned them on because when you got to that light, it came on there when you ran, you know, the light came on, oh, I asked the guy next to me and he. He said he was fine every morning, not that.

I don't do that every morning. We've seen you three or four times. I haven't done it every morning. Maybe I did once I got my license. My headlights are not working well. Wasn't it before you turned them on when we got behind no, I didn't know because these are the main headlights right here that should always be on with the ignition no it's yeah, here we go, it's on and neither are the taillights until I just turned that one on. another light, well this here is just these handguards here, you didn't have any lights on because the back light wouldn't come on, yeah this light wasn't on so don't say it was me.

I mean, we won't lie to you, well, no, that's new to me. I mean, thanks for pointing that out. I had no idea. I thought it was working. You know you turn left and then you go straight. Yes, I asked the boy. Then I thought he needed gas so he was going to come but I asked the guy he was next to me and he told me he was fine so I went, what was the excuse? The last time, you know, last week. I didn't do that last week. What year is the vehicle? Uh, it's a 2015 model, okay, so there was a motorcycle that looked like yours.

I've seen a couple of superbikes out there. Okay, look buddy, first of all, I've been driving for 40 years. I drove professionally for 20 years. I think I'm pretending not to. I don't know what kind of bike this is and I'm confusing it with another one, it looks like you with the same helmet and everything, okay, okay, sure, I mean, it's very irritating that you have someone sitting there, do not that. I understand, but if I did, I certainly don't remember doing that, so what model DRZ Dr 650 you say no, you don't do that very often, but we sat there and my partner R, you stopped my partner, go away.

Hey, there's the guy running the light, you know, from the opposite lane and I thought that's the guy, yeah, that's the guy, you know what I mean, you go and do it, like this which is fine and then I do it several times. Honestly, I think I've done that maybe three times maybe three times you did it three times oh no over the course of about three months or so you never did that no no I didn't say that I said never I didn't do it Do it last week, what That's what you're accusing me of, block 3600, what block 3600, thank you sir, you know I'm willing to admit I'm wrong, so if that's what you saw, that's what you saw, but I'm pretty.

I sure didn't do that, just like I'm pretty sure my light was working right now because it's on. Look, I turn on the ignition. I can't ride my bike without the lights on. How many other switches do we have in it? bike that cuts out the lights just this to turn on these handguards that's all then I guess you need to get your bike serviced because the taillights don't work. I don't agree, but you are a motorist, we both saw it when you were going down the road. There was a red truck on my left, don't worry, we can talk about it in court.

I'll know. I have the utmost respect for you, especially you at CS, but I have a hard time believing my light. it wasn't working and I'm sorry if you know if I'm giving you shit about it, but how people need to tell you, you know, I mean you, you're the first two that tell me and I'm always aware. about my lights because well, I need to be seen well, so they came on, the light came on, well, maybe there's a loose connection in the brake pedal or something because it's obvious you know, I mean, like you know , the stop and go light does not work, yes.

Neither the brake lights nor the running lights were really working behind, okay, well I'll check it out as soon as I can because I don't like that at all. Here's a citation for discr traffic control device and another for dirty LP. I'll give you one warning for that and one for the brake lights. You got me really worried now about my light man, I'm like it's not working, yeah, no, I, like I said, a lot of guys put in kill switches. on their bikes, not me, I have flashy straps that I usually use when it's dark too because they don't work, they start to work, no, I'm really worried about it, I don't know why, that's why it doesn't work. right there, make sure you call him before then.

This one here you will still be able to defend yourself from driving for this one here if you prove to the court that you know that you have fixed the bike and that you know the lights really work, they can rule out having a good day sir, yes, you too, that's it absolute, you know I have the utmost respect for

police

officers, but when it's like that, they give everyone else a bad name because that's absolute, my lights have always worked. They have never stopped working and now I have to pay a fine for their

lying

asses.
